HN comment orderI've never used it, but (from what I've seen) is a great tool for modeling Voxels. Shameless plug: The format (and the tool) has been used with great success in Veloren, an Open Source Voxel MMORPG written in rust (https://www.veloren.net/). The artist team has made great assets for the game and landscapes for the release parties. Your should check out the project, it is really cool. (Disclaimer: I'm part of the mod team.)
I highly recommend people check this out if you're interested in voxel graphics, or a simple way to make 3D graphics if you're artistically challenged like me. We used it to make a whole game and it was great: https://www.larvalabs.com/project/roadtrip Here are some other awesome things made with it: https://twitter.com/HuntingFluff/status/1046417418459975681 https://twitter.com/Sir_carma/status/1051867299303440384 And in general I recommend following Sir Carma for inspiration: https://twitter.com/Sir_carma
Here are some examples of what talented artist can create with this tool: http://imgur.com/gallery/8zEE1/
I was hoping this had been posted because there was a new version released. Keep meaning to spend time with this, but I start looking at videos to learn it and surprisingly there are still so few.
